Finding the Correct Laser Power:
First, find the appropriate power level on the laser for the material being worked on. [00:45]

Adjusting the Power:
Once the initial power level is found, slightly reduce it to ensure controlled application. [01:02]

Adding Silver Material:
Apply silver to the top of the flattened claw, building up the material. [01:12]
Continue adding silver until the level of the repaired claw matches the other existing claws. [02:08]

Removing Excess Material:
Carefully remove any excess silver that has been added. [02:40]

Working the Silver In:
Manipulate and work the added silver into the claw to create a solid bond. [02:47]

Increasing the Spot Size:
Increase the laser's spot size to blend and smooth the added material. [02:52]

Protecting the Stone:
Use a protective tool, such as a knife blade, to guard the gemstone from accidental laser contact. [03:00]

Shaping the Claw:
Further work the silver into the claw, shaping it to the desired form. [03:24]

Reducing the Spot Size:
Reduce the laser's spot size for finer detail and finishing. [03:46]

Smoothing the Surface:
Smooth the surface of the repaired claw to eliminate any rough edges or imperfections. [04:13]

Rounding and Finishing:
Gently round off the tip of the claw, shaping it to match the other claws and complete the repair. [04:23]
